Report Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to register the actual usage of serials, recorded
either as part of ground maintenance tests or post maintenance check flights.
Often these testing activities have specific data recording requirements, such
as, temperature at different operating ranges, flight control travel and fuel
consumption. These requirements need to be recorded and made available to
engineering personnel, as required. The specific aspects of each ground
maintenance test activity or post maintenance test flight are often recorded on
company specific test sheets and provided to operational and engineering
personnel alike as source information for analysis and confirmation that a part
can still meet its certification requirements.
Loggings are based on a start and finish date and the defined operational
parameters for the part. Operational loggings can be reported for events that
have occurred provided that the operational loggings are sequential. When the
test results are recorded on company specific data sheets, these can be attached
to the operational log of the part by using the Attachments panel. For
more information on operational loggings, refer to the activity Report
Operational Loggings.
Prerequisites
- The structure must be completed at the start of the logging, i.e., the
minimum configuration must be in place for the date entered in the Last
From Date field.
- There cannot exist loggings with a start or finish date later than the
date entered in the Last From Date field.
- All operational parameters that are to be logged or calculated during
logging must have been defined.
- The maximum value that is allowed for a logging must have been
registered.
- For LLPs (life limited parts) to get the correct information, all life
limits and stress ratings must have been defined and set at the given time
of the logging.
- The logging can be connected to an operational event when reporting the
logging. This connection applies only to serials for which the operational
event is registered.
- If operational loggings are to be reported on a flight, the belonging
flight must be in the Open status.
System Effects
- The registered values are saved on the serial and on all serials in its
structure at the time the data is entered. Measured operational parameters
are a result of the operational parameters indicated for the maintenance
group of the serial.
- The values registered during this activity will be used for the next
task calculation and can result in the creation of a new maintenance task.
- For operational loggings that are reported on a flight, the loggings
will be spread on the serial and its structure when closing the
corresponding flight log. If any operational parameters without measure data
exists on the flight, these parameter records will be deleted automatically
from the operational log.

Procedure
Follow this procedure to report operational loggings for a serial:
- Open the Serial Operational Information window and query
(F3) for the necessary serial.
- Click the Operational Log tab.
- Enter dates for the logging in the Last From Date and Last To
Date fields.
- In the Operational Event field, enter the operational event. Use
the List of Values to select a valid value. Entering a value in this field
is optional. If a value is entered in this field, values are required to be
entered in the Assigned From and Assigned To fields as well.
- In the Location Code field, enter the location of the serial
after the operation is completed. Entering a value in this field is
optional.
- In the Remark field, enter a remark, if necessary.
- In the table, enter a value in either the Accumulated Value or
Add On Value field. If this is an operational parameter to be logged in
time, enter a value in the Time Difference field instead of in the
Add On Value field. Perform this same change for all operational
parameter records displayed in the table.
- Save the information (F12).
Follow this procedure to report operational loggings for a flight:
- Open the Flight Log window and query (F3) for the
necessary flight log number and/or vehicle ID.
- Click the Flight Info tab and then click the General
sub tab.
- Select the required operational plan identity (flight number) from the
Operational Plan ID list.
- In the table, locate the serial for which operational loggings are to be
reported and enter a value in either the Accumulated Value or Add
on Value field. If this is an operational parameter to be logged in
time, enter a value in the Time Difference field instead of in the
Add On Value field. Perform this same change for all operational
parameter records displayed in the table.
- The values in the Value After Overhaul and Value Total
fields appear automatically and cannot be changed. If operational loggings
are being reported on the first flight in the flight log, the value after
overhaul and value total will be retrieved from the operational log. If it
is any subsequent flight in the flight log, the value after overhaul and
value total will be retrieved from the previous flight in the flight log.
- Save the information (F12).
